    Abstract Background: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) can be accompanied by other congenital anomalies. We conducted a long-term evaluation of the associations between cleft patterns, sex distribution, and accompanying congenital anomalies of patients with CL/P.
    Methods: The medical records of 739 patients with CL/P, seen between January 1967 and December 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analysis.
    Results: Among the 739 patients with CL/P, the male-to-female ratio was 1.1. Regarding the cleft pattern, 121 (16.4%), 104 (14.1%), 280 (37.9%), 198 (26.8%), and 36 (4.9%) patients had cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and alveolus (CLA), cleft lip and palate (CLP), cleft palate (CP), and submucous cleft palate (SMCP), respectively. Congenital anomalies were identified in 107 (14.5%) cases, of which 53 (49.5%) had congenital heart disease. The frequencies of congenital anomalies patients with in CL/P were 14/225 (6.2%), 36/280 (12.9%), 43/198 (21.7%), and 14/36 (38.9%) for a combination of CL and CLA, CLP, CP, and SMCP, respectively. Accompanying syndromes and chromosomal anomalies were identified in 40 (5.4%) cases, in which Pierre Robin sequence (16 cases of CP and 4 cases of SMCP) was the most frequent.
    Conclusion: No sex differences were observed in CL/P, and CLP and CP were the most common cleft patterns. Congenital anomalies associated with CL/P were dominated by congenital heart disease and were most frequently identified in CP and SMCP cases. Notably, the Pierre Robin sequence, a complex syndrome characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, respiratory obstruction, and a U- or V-shaped CP, was found in cases of both CP and SMCP, and accounted for the symptoms in most cases.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are expected to be useful in bone regeneration treatment for various diseases and conditions, including cleft lip and palate, fracture, and bone absorption. However, to date, MSCs have failed to produce satisfactory results in clinical settings. This is primarily due to the low rate of induced osteogenic differentiation. To realize MSC potential, it is necessary to establish methods for the isolation of MSC-derived living osteoblasts. However, no osteoblast markers have been reported to date. In an attempt to develop a method for the assessment of osteoblast differentiation, we established reporter human immortalized MSC (hiMSC) lines for

    Abstract We herein report a case of a consciousness disorder that was induced by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion following cisplatin (CDDP) and 5 -fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in a patient with tongue cancer. A 72- year-old woman complained of tongue pain and was admitted to our hospital for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, under a diagnosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (T4aN2bM0). She was treated with CDDP and 5-FU. On the second day after administration, she complained of nausea and anorexia, and on the third day, she showed impaired consciousness. Laboratory studies revealed that the patient had a serum sodium concentration 112mEq/L, and no dehydration was noted. The patient was diagnosed with SIADH, using the appropriate diagnostic criteria based on serum and urine hypoosmolality. We subsequently discontinued chemotherapy and initiated fluid restriction and sodium supplements. Two days after this treatment, her consciousness level improved, and on the fifth day of treatment, laboratory studies revealed a serum sodium level of 134mEq/ L.

    Abstract Background: Use of the Glatzel mirror for measuring expiratory nasal flow in preschool children has the disadvantage of vagueness, and the mirror may induce fear and inhibition of interest in those children. In response to these limitations, we developed a new device with dual cameras for measuring expiratory nasal flow in 2 to 6 year old children. The aim of this study is to compare the Glatzel mirror and the new device, in terms of accurate assessment of expiratory nasal flow, children's feelings, and correlation to each child's profile.
    Methods: This study evaluated 20 cleft lip and palate patients and 21 healthy children aged between 2 and 6 (under 7) years. After consent was granted, a 4-week screening period was undertaken followed by inspection at weeks 8, 16, 24, and 32. Each inspection was conducted while the children were asked to pronounce various sounds and comprised three stages: i) use of the Glatzel mirror, ii) subjective visual assessment using the new device, and iii) image recording by dual cameras of the new device. Questionnaires for the new device were administered at the initial and final inspections. To contrast the results between the Glatzel mirror and the new device, the numbers that indicated values of subjective visual assessment and camera assessment greater than the assessment values of the Glatzel mirror were compared. For measuring the children's responses to the new device compared with those to the Glatzel mirror, the answers to the questionnaires were compared. For the comparison of the children's profiles (age and sex) and feelings, the numbers of subjects who could use the new device were measured.
    Results: The camera assessment of the new device indicated significantly greater values than that of the Glatzel mirror (
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated the superiority of the new device with dual cameras to the Glatzel mirror in terms of functionality and attitude of children.

    Abstract Background: Therapeutic strategies for patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effectiveness and safety of teriparatide therapy in Japanese MRONJ patients based on a large number of case series with a multicenter retrospective analysis.
    Patients and methods: Between January 2012 and December 2016, 29 patients who were diagnosed with MRONJ at 10 hospitals were treated with teriparatide. The medical records of these patients were retrospectively reviewed to assess the efficacy and safety of teriparatide therapy for MRONJ patients.
    Results: Adverse events occurred in 17.2% of patients (5/29). One patient developed severe arthralgia and discontinued teriparatide therapy after 12 days, while others continued the treatment. Among 29 patients, the median period of administration of teriparatide was 14.0 months (range, 0.3-26 months), and treatment outcomes were evaluated as effective in 75.9% of patients with complete resolution in 65.5%. Among patients treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs), 83.3% were effectively treated with teriparatide and 40% with intravenous BPs. The oral administration of BPs was associated with successful treatment outcomes with teriparatide (p = 0.062).
    Conclusions: Teriparatide therapy has potential as an effective treatment option for MRONJ.

    Abstract Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold promise for application in adult stem cell-mediated regenerative medicine in bone remodeling and fracture repair. MSCs in vitro can be directed to osteogenic lineage by dexamethasone (DEX); however, the use of DEX is not practical in clinical settings because of adverse side effects such as glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. For identifying substances that facilitate osteogenesis, a monitoring system, which detects the osteogenic differentiation stage of MSCs accurately and easily, is required.
    Methods: By focusing on the human osteocalcin (OC) gene whose expression profile is described along with osteogenic differentiation, we constructed the luciferase (Luc) reporter gene driven by the enhancer/promoter sequence of the human OC gene (OC-Luc) utilizing a mammalian artificial chromosome. Mammalian artificial chromosome is a suitable platform for loading reporter constructs, because of its stable episomal maintenance in host cells, transferability into any cell and assurance of long-term physiological transgene expression. We loaded the OC-Luc on a mammalian artificial chromosome vector engineered from mouse chromosome (designated as mouse artificial chromosome, MAC) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (OC-Luc/MAC) and transferred this into human MSC cells via chromosome transfer.
    Results: OC-Luc/MAC in human MSC cells are responsive to positive and negative stimulation by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and DEX in differentiation stage of MSCs to osteoblasts, reflecting the manner of physiological expression.
    Conclusion: The OC-Luc/MAC reporter system may contribute not only to monitoring the osteogenic differentiation stage from MSC but also to identify novel osteogenic drugs.
